ParTcl ^

A from scratch implementation of Tcl on Parrot, called partcl.

To build the tcl interpreter, first build parrot. From the top level parrot directory:

 perl Configure.pl && make

Then, type make in this directory. This will generate the file tcl.pbc which can then be used to run tcl programs.

 ../../parrot tcl.pbc foo.tcl

Interactive tclsh ^

To run ParTcl interactively, simply type:

 make tclsh

in this directory.

Examples ^

To run an example, change to the examples, and type make for instructions.

Test Suite ^

To run the test suite, type make test. Note - if any tests fail, try setting the environment variable TEST_PROG_ARGS to -G and retry.

If the tests now pass, there's a GC bug that needs to be reported to the perl6-internals list.
